> Das Gericht will mit dem Verkaufsstopp beide Unternehmen an einen Tisch zwingen, damit sie ein Lizenzabkommen aushandeln.

This roughly translates to: With this sales ban, the court wants to bring both parties back to the table so they negotiate a license agreement.

This doesn't make sense to me. Doesn't the sales ban only force Lenovo into accepting an unreasonably high license fee so they can minimize the damage?

If not this the only other thing that can happen is Nokia maximizing the damage.
